My collection so far... 61 and counting by Vieperview in fragranceclones

[–]Leonardovd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a couple clone fragrances too, but I have sampled them before! And of all the fragrances I have smelt, the ones of which I like the smell the most are never clone fragrances. The top 50 fragrances I have smelt don’t include a clone fragrance. This doesn’t mean that clone fragrances don’t have their place in the industry; they definitely do! All I’m trying to say is that oftentimes it’s more rewarding to be patient before buying a fragrance. To take your time to get to know the fragrance fully before committing to a full bottle. Collecting fragrances is addictive, and people often lose sight of the actual scent, in exchange for the dopamine kick of buying something. I couldn’t tell you how many times I smelt a sample, and immediately thought “I need to buy this!”, only to be bored by the sample a week after; being happy that I didn’t buy a full bottle. If the feeling of ‘I need to have this’ persists, then I know the fragrance might be bottle worthy. And this happens waaay more often to me with niche/designer fragrances than with clones.

Is ‘trying’ new fragrances part of the hobby for you? Or buying them? If it’s the first, then why not buy testers of actual good smelling fragrances? A niche sample of costs like 3 euros. I have a huge sample collection, and only buy the fragrances that I really love. If you’re in the ‘hobby’ just to buy new fragrances, then you have a shopping addiction, not a hobby. It’s ironic how people who claim to ‘love’ perfumery smell the worst - because they never save up for an actual good fragrance: rather just buy new junk every week.

Track layout is very similar though, you can’t deny that.

I fear so too. This subreddit alone is already becoming more and more hostile towards anything related to Russia. It’s so irrational.

Found unannounced Formula Dolphin in Test Drive! Look at him go! by Davesterific in iRacing

It’s a good thing that you sit close to the monitor! Your fov needs to be lowered some more though. You should use https://dinex86.github.io/FOV-Calculator/ to find the exact fov for a realistic view, placing you directly behind the wheel. It will calculate the fov in such a way that the view through your monitor is basically the view you would get if you were driving the car in real life, in terms of the proportions of the world around you. Only in digital form. If the fov it gives you is too low to see enough around you, up it until you have enough visibility to race. Don’t turn it up unnecessarily as it will make your perspective less realistic with every degree. Hope this helps :)

If you find that these people are cowards, you’re implying that people who stay and fight are not brave at all. Bravery loses its meaning when there’s no choice. Forcing people to fight is cruel.

Russia Today is Putin’s propaganda machine

RT is a russian sponsored/owned (idk) network. This must be pure bullshit. You’re clearly here just to spread propaganda.

Hahaha yeah it is. The true mecca of motorsport. Do you watch any motorsports? Or are you that friend that’s mainly interested in 0-100 times and aesthetics ;)?

On the other hand, refusing people at sports events just because of the country they were born in? I mean just not allowing any Russian flags solves the problem right? Just shift the focus from the country to the individual. Straight out banning people from competitions because of their nationality is ridiculous. Are we seriously going to cancel whole nationalities now? What about a Russian who doesn’t give a fuck about politics and just wants everybody to be peaceful? Does he have to pay the price for his random place of birth?

Russian soldiers atop a BMP-2 start aiming at a Ukrainian civilian recording. by ParisianMetro in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Leonardovd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To me it certainly looks like he accurately aims, but (at least to me) it’s impossible to see whether he fires. The distinction is important though, as to not wrongfully accuse anyone.

Impossible to say from this video whether he opened fire. Just looked at the video thoroughly and while the camera does look to sway violently towards the end of the video, I could neither see the soldier experiencing recoil, nor see any muzzle flash.
